About Transferring Academic Credit
|
|
|
A maximum of seven academic courses may be transferred into the BFA program. Coursework may be completed both before and after matriculation into the program. Pre-approval is required for transfer work completed while enrolled in the program.
Additional requirements include:
- A grade of C- or better must have been earned in order for a course to be eligible for transfer.
-
Courses must have been completed at accredited, degree-granting institutions.
-
Courses completed at two-year junior colleges may only be eligible for transfer if completed before matriculation. After matriculation, all courses must be completed at four-year institutions.
-
No more than five of the maximum eight courses may be completed through summer study.
- No more than three courses may be completed in any one summer.
-
Courses must fulfill the distribution requirements of the specific Tufts degree program in which the student is accepted and must be the equivalent of a course offered at Tufts. Note that requirements differ for BFA in Art Education candidates.
- Courses must include a total of 42 contact hours of instruction or more in order to transfer as one Tufts course (4 credits).
-
Transferred courses are entered onto the Tufts transcript without a grade and are not computed into the cumulative GPA of the student.
-
Students may not complete their final semester with transfer work.
- Students should be prepared to provide course descriptions and catalogs from previous institutions in addition to final transcripts in order to expedite the transfer process. In some cases, additional back-up material may be required.
-
Coursework included in a previous Bachelor’s degree that has been conferred or used in fulfillment of high school graduation requirements may not be transferred.
- Online coursework is not transferable.
-
Transfer credit is evaluated and awarded by the Academic Affairs Office at the Museum School. Contact the Coordinator for Academic Programs for additional information.
